Long range BS AA guns aka Another bomber vs cap rant topic

[BaconSoda]

And yes, single bomber can kill cruiser. I have seen it. Sad enough. Two such can kill battleship. ANY battleship.

I have to disagree here. Unless it's the Kusari Destroyer flown horribly, a Bomber has a very hard time killing a Cruiser all by it's lonesome. I know this very well from experience. It's not impossible, no, not by any stretch of the word, but it is exceedingly difficult. With the assistance of a single other craft, Fighter, even, the task gets much, much easier. I'll tell you right now, I consider myself to be a good Bomber pilot and an adequate PvPer, but I will never take a 1v1 fight against a Cruiser in a Bomber, but I will almost always take a 2v1 fight against a Cruiser.

The same applies for a Battleship, really, though the numbers are inflated. I would say that even 3 average Bombers have a pretty difficult time attacking a Battleship with Secondaries or anti-snubcraft weaponry, but this is pretty much where the tipping point is. It's quite difficult (and time consuming) to kill a Battleship with 2 Bombers. It's much easier with 3, but still room for mistakes. With 4 bombers, you'll probably win. In fact, if you don't win with 4 bombers, you should probably put your glasses on.

This is all a part of the balance. What you're really forgetting is that Bombers are pretty much the counters to Battleships and Cruisers. Battleships are made to destroy Cruisers and Gunboats. Cruisers are made to destroy Gunboats and Battleships. Bombers are made to destroy Cruisers and Battleships. There's a good reason as to why they're so potent against Cruisers and Battleships. As a Battleship pilot, you should be just as distraught at seeing 2+ Bombers as a Bomber pilot should be distraught at seeing a Gunboat. That's just how the balance is. Battleships aren't made to destroy Bombers. Bombers are made to destroy Battleships.
